I got this as part of the bundle but the supplied serial number isn't working. Micromat hasn't answered my email. Now reading the reviews, perhaps I'm lucky? Still this was a big part of the bundle and not having it, or it not doing what it's supposed to do is a big let-down.
After some initial problems with Virusbarrier (see below), mainly the transfer of Netbarrier rules from X5 to the new Virusbarrier X6, I can say this is a good upgrade.
If you have Netbarrier X5, save your settings before installing X6, then change the extension from .ntb5 to .vbx6settings and import them back into X6 once installed.
I've exchanged with tech support and after a little lag at first (I guess they were overwhelmed) they promptly answered all my questions and if you send them your current X5 license information for Virusbarrier X5 or Netbarrier X5 they can transfert your remaining subscription time to X6.
With one application for virus and firewall, one license valid for two macs, this is a great solution which cost less to own than before.
Aside from the same problem as Raven below with my settings not being imported, I also experienced a problem with the virus scan. VirrusBarrier finds an infected file and offers me to quarantine it or reveal it in Finder, but repair is disabled because it thinks my version is unregistered. My version IS registered!
VirrusBarrier is using 98% of CPU almost continuously!? Add that to the #@!% mdworker process and both my processors are fully loaded most of the time when I'm not doing anything! Arg!
I also have problems with 3.1.2 under SL. Now it won't quit unexpectedly (as 3.1 did) but I cannot edit auto-locate rules and some actions cannot be properly set.
I haven't used Pathfinder in a while (I used it instead of the Finder until Leopard). It *seems* to me to be light in terms of new features making it worth a paid upgrade, although I may have missed something. I'm not sure I'll upgrade.
This is a great software, don't mind that last review. The docmentation is crystal clear, the program performs perfectly, with a precise interface. I used to not really understand what to do for backups, but with SuperDuper I feel safe for the first time in a long while. I tried to boot from the clone and it worked perfectly. Everything was there as expected.
I bought Popcorn as a software download and got a version of the product that wasn't the latest patch (1.0.2) and I cannot download the update to 1.0.3 from Roxio's site.
It's impossible to get support for this product. It's not listed in the support page, asking their automated web support result in the answer: "we can't answer questions about Popcorn" and there is no email contact for support. So I'm left with an unusable product. Waste of money.
Try DVD2oneX2 instead.
